Duplicity
Where nature’s end of language is declined,And men talk only to conceal the mind.
Young.
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike.
Pope.
I, I, I myself, sometimes, leaving the fear of heaven on the left hand, and hiding mine honor in my necessity, am fain to shuffle, to hedge, and to lurch.
Shakespeare.
O, what may man within him hide,Though angel on the outward side.
Shakespeare.
One dupe is as impossible as one twin.
John Sterling.
